Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?


I think my SCD-1 is very good and beautifully made, but at the end of the day, I am listening to digital less and less, other than from my PC.

So I am thinking about recycling some of its resale value into a turntable, and building up a WAF file music server.

If I were to sell my SCD-1, is there anything that will give me 75% + of the sound on a budget, albeit without the gorgeous build quality?

DTM: That's an unfortunate risk I take standing by those who I admire and respect. I found out in the schoolyard that if you are outspoken, not everyone is going to like you ... I can live with that.

I base my statements on first hand experience, which, of course is the only method to know for sure whether or not a particular piece of gear integrates well into your system and suits your needs. Making comments or assumptions without discloses that person a fool.

Certainly, with the comments of others above, you can see that it isn't just me that has found TRL's Sony 900 mod outstanding. In fact, most guys are trying to keep it quiet until they sell off their more expensive players ... although the buzz since THE Show has been hard to stiffle.

"I've got excellent reproduction with what I've got, and I'm very happy (for now!). :)"

That's all any of us are after. I only pray that your journey brings you as much pleasure as mine has I.

Best wishes,

DTM: This thread is like the Hillbillies on their windy hillside spitting contest. You try not to be downwind and get it all over you. It sure looks like though the Alex vs TRL spitting contest. The winner is " TRL " hands down. Just take an objective count of positives at all the forums up to date on either side and well you can do the math. The rest is a bunch of useless, senseless hyperbole. Yeah, and that hyperbole is spitting all over me! Well gentelmen, may the best man win!
Hi DTM: Please be clear that those I consider to be in the hills are ones that have not been able to see the light of day in regards to this current scenario. There are enough mitigating circumstances clearly demonstrated over the years to move forward with a very clear conclusion hear.This not being a court of law I found it interesting that those living in the hills could not ferret out the good guys here.

I have a TRL modded Sony 900. I bought the player used for about $300 and the mod was $550. The best digital I have every heard!
